Looks like 30-36" cabinets with a 9' ceiling, go up to 42" , if its 8' ceiling go with 36" and crown, can get a decent kitchen, up a notch from builder grade, dovetails on draws, self closing hinges, total kitchen about 10-12k, granite tops around 3-4 k for Group 2, rip out and install plus miscellaneous expense= 24-26k

Yes, you do get to keep the tools. I have a big Metabo SDS hammer drill , a Panasonic 24 volt cordless hammer and (had) a 14.4 volt cordless that I got from a guy who reviewed each of those category tools for them. He got to keep them all. This was back 7-8 years ago, but I'm sure it's the same.
Thanks. That would be way cool getting some tools.

It's great to see that your work is being rewarded as well as being rewarding to you.

I consider myself to be a competent carpenter, and thoroughly enjoy seeing the work of "masters" like yourself and some of the other boys on the site.

Congrats - Now get ur a$$ back to the shop!!!

Well, I got the cab doors all stained up... but we have a blizzard going so I'm headin' back out to the shop to get few more things done (since it is warmed up... don't want let the heat go to waste). Crazy out there.

Here are the doors:

Definitely figuring on 42" wall cabs. Gonna stick with this layout except in the fridge area. Im gonna give them room to get the fridge back all the way, it binds about 8" from the back. Also want to put a finished panel and full depth cabinet over the fridge. Crown is a must, I'll still have 10" to the ceiling. Maybe some low voltage lighting over and under cabs.

You have wondered into my turf there slick. Do you have a license to tread this far from home?

Looks like fun and dry and warm.

Are they going for new appliances?

Supposedly the appliances are relatively new, and believe it or not I've done some very nice kitcken installs too. Didn't own a camera for most though.

No need to be on the side lines and jealous.
All you have to do is poke a little fun at Lone's work, love life, looks, geographic area, anything really. Then wait for the picture show.
He loves to post pictures and I like to look at them. Easiest thing ever.

Lets keep it a secret though.
